"I don't read El Reg for political news" -- Hud Dunlap
Me neither; I read it for the comments on those stories. Most of what passes for discussion on the news sites to which you implicitly refer is shockingly ignorant and profoundly uninformative shouting. Here on El Reg, spam is nearly non-existent; the inevitable trolling is at a minimum; you know who the conspiracy theorists are --- in fact, you get to know who a lot of the regular contributors are --- and the arguments are often considered and coherent, regardless of political persuasion.
If you don't want to read these stories, don't read them. The number of comments on this article suggests that your opinion that such articles don't belong here is probably far from unanimous.
